Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Context Phase
Mr. Klaus Regling:
I can only answer that indirectly. My feeling would be that in other countries where we have seen big housing bubbles and that occurred in Spain in the euro area and in the Baltic countries outside the euro area, but in regard to the EU where they had a similar phenomenon of very strong lending to commercial and real estate properties, there were probably similar problems but I never researched that.
